Multi-put?

While considering creating some examples of intervals it occurred to me  that we might need some sort of multi-put/update/delete.  The model we've got for CalDAV and CalWs (REST and SOAP) is that of one  resource per entity.  That's fine but we can only create/update one per request.  If we're dealing with a related set of entities as we will do in smart  grid and probably project management (an entire project) then we  probably want an atomic create/update/delete of all related entities.  One approach might be wrappers for add/update/delete operations which  turn them into a single transaction. For SOAP it's probably easy - just  wrap all the SOAP messages in an envelope. Not so simple for CalDAV and  REST as we need new operations
